“You showed forebearance to us, like a mother to her only child,
Yet like children, we disappoint you, time and again
Your compassion is immense, your love bountiful
Your patience is immeasurable, you were never reticent in your guidance
Yet like children, we have not shown gratitude,
When will we learn to cherish your kindness but only by developing Prajna Paramita
It is true, a Master motivates Himself daily
To turn the dharma wheel, for the sake of all
We should draw strength and inspiration from the Master, a Buddha to us all,
Without whom, we are like sheep without a shepherd
Lost in the wilderness of samsara”
